Coffee Cupcakes with Coffee Cream Cheese Frosting

If you’ve ever wanted to eat a cupcake for breakfast, now is your chance. This cupcake checks all of the boxes. The coffee flavor isn’t overpowering, it’s nice and subtle. I didn’t want the flavor in these coffee cupcakes to be so strong enough to give you coffee breath all day. The cream cheese acts as the creamer you would normally add to your coffee. Delicious is an understatement when it comes to these cupcakes.

Just looking at these pictures makes me want a cupcake. They’re so perfect and moist. I apologize if that word makes you cringe but the coffee does something special to these cupcakes. Did I mention how amazing your house is going to smell when they’re in the oven. I baked my cupcakes in two batches just so the smell would stick around longer. I suggest you do the same 😉

I can’t get over how adorable these cupcakes are. Ever since I bought my piping kit I’ve been obsessed with making cupcakes. You would be obsessed too if you realized how much cuter cupcakes are with piped frosting. I used to think piping was for professionals but it’s really quite easy when you get the hang of it. As long as your frosting is fluffy and firm it will be easy peasy to pipe.

My cupcakes look a little dull in these plain white cupcake wrappers. I love using pretty colored ones but I can’t seem to find any grease proof liners around here. If the wrappers aren’t grease proof the coloring of the wrappers turn all funky and well the grease of the cupcakes shows through the liner. I would much rather use these lame white wrappers than greasy wrappers.

If you have cats you know what it’s like to eat around them, nearly impossible! They’re constantly jumping on your lap and sticking there nose where it doesn’t belong. Well our new cat Rambo is pretty rambunctious. He doesn’t give up until he gets what he wants, and he’s pretty demanding. I had to lock him in our back room with our other cat, Burger while taking pictures of these cupcakes. He wanted to lick all of the frosting off of the cupcakes. It took me numerous times to get the frosting to look the way I wanted it to. I didn’t want Rambo going and ruining my artwork. Rambo I apologize if you’re reading this, but please just eat your kitty food and leave our human food alone.

There were so many good looking cupcake pictures I had the hardest time choosing. I feel like every decision I make is the most complicated one I’ll ever make. My boyfriend and I were looking at blinds today and it felt like we were looking at them for hours. I really don’t think it was more than 20 minutes but you know what I mean. Come back tomorrow for another delicious coffee recipe.
